Posted: 4/10/05 at 4:00amDoes getting up and going to Wicked's Box Office at 9am for their Cancellation line work? I can either see DRS friday or take a chance on the Cancellation line.
Bill Finn rocks. Woot.

David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 4/10/05 at 9:40amIf you get there at 9am for an 8pm show, you're pretty much guaranteed for seats. But, remember, there aren't always house seats avaliable. The producers may have invitesd someone, or something.

There's always cancellations.
9 am is way too early. When I went two performances before Idina's last, I got there at 1:30. The next person after me to show up was 45 minutes later.
Do you really want to wait 11 hours?
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Posted: 4/10/05 at 10:24amSee DRS. You'll appreciate Lithgow, Butz, and Scott's performances. Wait to see Wicked - the hype won't last forever. Even with cast changes, the quality of the show won't change.

Yes, 9am is way too early. I should've mentioned that. When I was going to go for a Thursday night, we started at aroudn 2 and we were first in line.
But DRS is a fantastic choice. The cast is wonderful.

They won't start selling cancellations till after seven. Getting there at 9am is a waste of your day.
See DRS

I just realized, your last name is Butz! Both "Norbert" AND "Butz" are in your name! You must have gotten picked on a lot as a child!

Posted: 4/10/05 at 11:13amI agree with TheGa...if you are visiting nyc, you most definitely don't want to waste your entire day sitting at the front of the line inside a theatre. Go sightseeing, or something....
awkward.
